Message: [QUOTE="Zooey, post: 191503, member: 2733"] Again though, its a technical skill, as photography involves lenses, lighting, film used, etc. Lighting in a photograph, is much different than lighting in a painting, as the lighting in a photograph is created by the lightbulbs used, their placement, reflectors, and diffusion panels, whereas in a painting its created by the artist's recreation of lighting. Recreating reality is much different than showing reality as it is. Origami can be very appealing, so can tilework, carpet weaving, etc, but not everything that looks appealing or pleasant is art. Generally speaking, Origami doesnt communicate anything about our existence, or what the artist values in life. Take for example, "[I]Laocoön and His Sons", [/I]this sculpture conveys: heroism, suffering, and helplessness: [ATTACH type="full" size="1280x720"]65322[/ATTACH] Origami doesn't convey any deep meaning about existence, or values held by the artist. A crane made by me doesnt impart anything personal to my existence. It might look pleasant, but its trained steps, devoid of any artistic expression by the artist.
